DOW-7 Release Compound for Control Valves – Ensures Smooth Operation and Reliable Water Treatment Performance

When maintaining water softener control valves and accessories, a dependable release compound like DOW-7 is essential. This Dow Corning #7 Release Compound, packaged in a convenient 5.3 oz tube, offers superior lubrication and protection to valve components, reducing wear and preventing sticking. Designed specifically for water treatment systems, it provides a reliable, long-lasting solution that keeps your control valves operating efficiently and extends their service life.

Key Benefits

  • Prevents valve sticking and binding for smoother control valve operation
  • Protects rubber and plastic parts from wear and degradation over time
  • Enhances seal performance, reducing the risk of leaks in water softener systems
  • Resists washout and maintains lubrication even in wet environments
  • Easy-to-apply formula ensures quick maintenance without downtime
  • Compatible with a wide range of control valves and accessories in water treatment setups

How It Works

DOW-7 Release Compound acts as a high-quality lubricant and protective barrier for control valve components within water softener systems. When applied to rubber seals, o-rings, and plastic parts, it reduces friction and prevents these parts from sticking or binding during valve operation.

This compound also helps maintain the integrity of seals by keeping them pliable and preventing drying or cracking, which is crucial for maintaining proper water flow and avoiding leaks. Its resistance to water washout ensures ongoing protection even in constantly moist environments typical of water treatment equipment.

What to Expect

Upon applying DOW-7, you’ll notice immediate improvement in valve movement, with smoother actuation and less resistance. Over the first few days and weeks, the compound settles into seals and moving parts, enhancing their flexibility and wear resistance.

Long-term use of this release compound supports consistent valve performance by preventing common issues like sticking or seal failure, reducing maintenance frequency and helping your water softener system run reliably for years.

What’s Inside

  • Silicone-based lubricant – Provides excellent lubrication and water resistance
  • Protective agents – Preserve rubber and plastic components from aging
  • Non-corrosive base – Ensures safe use on metal valve parts without damage
  • 5.3 oz tube packaging – Offers easy, precise application with minimal waste

How to Use

  1. Clean the valve or accessory surfaces where the compound will be applied to remove dirt and old lubricant.
  2. Apply a thin, even layer of DOW-7 Release Compound to rubber seals, o-rings, and plastic parts.
  3. Reassemble the valve components carefully, ensuring all lubricated parts are properly seated.
  4. Operate the valve a few times to distribute the compound evenly and verify smooth movement.
  5. Repeat application during regular maintenance intervals or whenever valve sticking is noticed.
